Comparison of gene expression in the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) under different temperature conditions

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The red imported fire ant (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta Buren is native to South America and is known as a global problematic invasive species. This study focused on the molecular response of RIFA by comparing gene expression profiles after exposing ants to

Efficiency of prompt quarantine measures on a susceptible-infected-removed model in networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This study focuses on investigating the manner in which a prompt quarantine measure suppresses epidemics in networks. A simple and ideal quarantine measure is considered in which an individual is detected with a probability immediately after it becomes ...

Comparative evaluation of two commercial ELISA kits for detection of antibodies against Akabane virus in cattle serum

open access: yesBMC Veterinary Research, 2019
Background Akabane disease (AD), a barrier to international trade for endemic areas with far economic impact on the countries, is caused by Akabane virus (AKAV). Commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a commonly used diagnostic technique

Analysis, Simulation and Control of a New Measles Epidemic Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper the problem of modeling and controlling the measles epidemic spread is faced. A new model is proposed and analysed; besides the categories usually considered in measles modeling, the susceptible, the exposed, the infected, the removed and,

Analysis of CDC social control measures using an agent-based simulation of an influenza epidemic in a city [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: the transmission of infectious disease amongst the human population is a complex process which requires advanced, often individual-based, models to capture the space-time details observed in reality.Methods: an Individual Space-Time Activity ...

Assessment of four DNA fragments (COI, 16S rDNA, ITS2, 12S rDNA) for species identification of the Ixodida (Acari: Ixodida)

open access: yesParasites & Vectors, 2014
Background The 5’ region of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) is the standard marker for DNA barcoding. However, COI has proved to be of limited use in identifying some species, and for some taxa, the coding sequence is not efficiently amplified by PCR.

Host shifts in economically significant fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) with high degree of polyphagy

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Insects tend to feed on related hosts. Coevolution tends to be dominated by interactions resulting from plant chemistry in defense strategies, and evolution of secondary metabolisms being in response to insect herbivory remains a classic explanation of ...

Mathematical modeling of the spread of the coronavirus under strict social restrictions

open access: yesMathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView., 2021
We formulate a simple susceptible‐infectious‐recovery (SIR) model to describe the spread of the coronavirus under strict social restrictions. The transmission rate in this model is exponentially decreasing with time. We find a formula for basic reproduction function and estimate the maximum number of daily infected individuals.
